The Rrief1ess Barrister.
A BALLAD.

An Attorney was taking a turn,
In shabby habilimentS drest;
His coat it was shockingly worn,
And the rust had invested his vest.
His breeches had suffered breach,
His linen and worsted were worse:
He had scarce A whole crown in his hat,
And not half a crown in his purse.
And thus as he wandered along
A cheerless and comfortieSs elf,
He sought for relief in song,
Or complainingly talked to himself
.-Jnfortunate man that AM
Eve never client but grief:
The case is I've no case at al,
And in brief, I've n er had a brief.
tI've waited and waited in vain,
Expecting an Opening to find,
Where an honest young laWye might gain
Some reward for toll of his mind
'Tis not that I'm wanting in law,
Or lack an intelligent face,
That others have cases to plead,
While have to plead for a case.
20. how can modest young man
Fer hope for the smallest progression,-
The profession s already so full
OF lawyers so full Of profession"'
While thus he was strolling around,
His eyes accidently fell
On a very deep hole in the ground,
And he sighed to himself, 1t is well!''
To curb his emotions he sat
On the curb-tone the space of minute,
Then cried, Here's an opening at lastt'
And in less than jiffy was in it!
Next morning twelve citizens came
w ('Twas the coroner bade them attend.)

A third said. "He knew the deceased,
An attorney well versed in the laws,
And as to the cause of his death,

After solemnly weighing the matter.

stMr. Pearson Will Contribute to No
Such Result.''
From Statesville Landmark. |

The drift of opinion seems to he that the
Republicans will, next year, run an Inde-
pendent Democrat for Governor, and the
name oftenest seen and heard in this con-
nection is that of Mr.. Richmond Pearson,
of Runoombe. For one we have no idea
that Mr.. Pearson would lend himself to
any such scheme. His election under such
circumstances would he a Republican vic
tory, pure and simple, and the same in
fuences which brought it about would
give the electoral vote of the State to the
Republican candidate for President. MIR.
Pearson will contribute to no such result

An UnansWerable Argument.

From New Berne Journal
We are prepared to hear objections to
the Graded School tax. The main one and
the most plausible is that offered by the
property holder, that it is not right to tax
one man for the education of another's
children. Why is it not right: Are not
the children of to day to be the men of
the future, and are they not citizens of
one great commonwealth? When Cover
nor Ellis issued his proclamation in 1851,
calling for volunteers to repel invasion,
did the non property holder stand back
and say, II have no property to fight for,
why should one man endanger his life to
protect another's property?" If the fishe-
ries dispute or other international trouble
was to bring the s'British Lion" growing
at our doors and an invading array should
threaten to lay New Berne in ashes. would
the non property holders stand off and see
their neishbor's property destroyed with
out lifting their hands to hep him2 Oh,
no. Not if they are good citizens. And
will the wellto do citizens of New Berne
withhold the small tax of fifth of one
per cent of their taxable property to help
to educate their peighhor's children, in or
der to make them better fitted for the du-
ties of citizenship, and better prepared to
fight life's battlesl This is tho question
Will they do it?
